*Destination: Billy Penn AKA/City Hall
Today, the event for Books Not Bombs turned out to be really chill. Not one cop approached us, and we went with that vibe. We loaded up a van with fencing, set up barriers in front of city hall, and started the party. It was a festival atmosphere, lots of free food and free music. Can't beat that. We made a banner and as people walked by some inquired about our mission. Ivan and Evan pulled the crowd together and kicked off some colaborations on music and crafts. The best way to explain the day is just to show the pictures I took.

Trevor dear, I'm sure when you say you *hate* us you mean that figuritivly, considering you don't know us. As it happens, we consider ourselves patriots of the highest regard. We are part of the checks and balance. We are the fraction that makes this goverment accountable to we the people. Are you gainfully employed? Do you have healthcare? If so I'm happy for you, but many do not, in this the richest country in the world. Thankyou for your comments. |
